…but of course, two weeks of hype. Starting tonight.

This year the Pro Bowl will be played the weekend between the league championship games and the Super Bowl. But if you are seriously excited about watching the Pro Bowl, it might be a serious sign that you need to get a life.

Matt Stover, the Colts placekicker, will turn 42 on Wednesday and will be the oldest player ever in the Super Bowl. He did say later that while he looks forward to playing against the Saints, he is sorry he won’t get to face that nice young man, Brett Favre.

–
Garrett Hartley, the Saints placekicker, was suspended earlier this year for taking Adderall, a banned stimulant used to treat ADD/ADHD. Apparently he is clean now. when asked about the medication in a post game news conference, Hartley’s response was “Oh, look, a puppy.”

In general, I have a hard time believing that God cares much about sporting events. On the other hand, maybe we can’t rule out that He likes to reward bipartisan politicians. The only congressperson from either party who crossed party lines to vote for health care – Joseph Cao – from New Orleans.

A recent poll gave California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a 27 percent approval rating. And most people figured he couldn’t go any lower than “Jingle all the Way.”

–
Watching these Pepsi “throwback” ads, where they are temporarily making the soft drink with “real sugar.” Doesn’t exactly give you a warm fuzzy feeling about whatever they are normally using now.

–
And the real anticipation has begun – for the Super Bowl ads. Apparently Boost Mobile, a cellphone company, will air a 30-second spot that will reunite the 1985 Chicago Bears. Says Bill Littlejohn, in the video, “the former Bears will perform a music video called Super Bowl Shuffleboard.’’
